So you are connecting, but it seems to be rejecting just the password. That is odd.
As I said, it also appears that the SMB server is unaware of the machine named Starbase. Remember nmblookup is unable to locate the machine named Starbase.
Are you sure the username is valid?
Yes. Only one username is in play here, albeit mapped on the Linux machine, and that's "Andrew DeFaria". It's the same username on Voyager and the same username on Starbase. Remember Starbase used to occupy Voyager's place. And smbusers maps "Andrew DeFaria" -> andrew, which is my username on the Linux box Earth.
And remember, this mapping is currently working from Voyager\Andrew DeFaria -> [EMAIL PROTECTED] Also, Starbase\Andrew DeFaria can map shares from Voyager and Voyager\Andrew DeFaria can map shares from Starbase. Voyager\Andrew DeFaria can map shares from Earth. It's only Starbase\Andrew DeFaria that cannot map shares nor browse shares on Earth. Note that Starbase can browse into the workgroup Universe and it sees some share names there (It sees Web for example, and a couple others, but not all of the ones that Voyager sees). If, however, I attempt to browse into Web, for instance, the username/password dialog box pops up and as I said, no username password combination works! :-( .
What if you use Explorer and input \\earth\web? It should prompt you for a user and password?
Yes I do this all the time, usually as the test case. Yes it does prompt for a username/password. I have tried all of [Earth|Voyager|Starbase]\Andrew DeFaria. I've also tried [Earth|Voyager|Starbase]\andrew. Nothing works, with the one and only password for "Starbase\Andrew DeFaria" and [EMAIL PROTECTED] The password is the same for all user IDs being used here.
If I browse from Voyager to \\earth\web I get in no dialogs or prompts or problems.
What if you create a new user on earth and dry to connect as the new user?
Interesting and I will try that. However how exactly do I state that new user? Do you mean in the username/password dialog box presented on Starbase when I browse to \\earth\web I specify a username of say earth\root and then root's password. I believe I tried that. Didn't work, but I could try it again (actually I see that smbusers has a mapping for root -> "administrator" and "admin". Perhaps I should try earth\administrator?
